First "rotary" car's birthday
« on: December 15, 2015, 11:26:39 AM »
On this day in 1896 the first rotary powered car ever was built! Of course it wasn't a Wankel engine, but it was an air-cooled radial 3 cylinder designed by a guy named Stephen Balzer which was a pretty neat little thing.

An RX-7 is like having a slut as a gf! She will love you, but she will also screw around with the guy at the parts store, most of the local cops, your insurance agent, your apex seals, your bank account and your credit card!!!

I don't think I would want a rotary powered wheelchair with a modern rotary motor on it lol. Maybe a golf cart with a 4 port msp on it though.
